10.25 an hour in Ontario.

Generally do things for my parents for free, they gave birth to me after all. They try and pay me every once in a while and I feel like a dick refusing.

My parents quit giving me money when i was 15... as soon as i moved out... less.


But last summer I charged my mom $20 an hour to make her a website. :)

-discounted from the $30 an hour I usually charge.



If only I could work more than like 10 hours a week... Id be so much better off.
